No. A sail that old will not rig well unless you get a similar vintage mast (and in those days gear released the same year sometimes didn't work together.) You'll be painting yourself into a poorly chosen corner from the outset.

Keep all your rig purchases post-2000. You should be able to find an affordable sail that's (only) ten years old. Compatibility between various windsurfing equipment is much much better in the 21st century. Good luck!_________________Michael

I have to admit that I've never re-gripped a boom. It's the kind of job that I pay others to do. In the last year or so, Derek at Delta Windsurf did my Maui Sails boom. The price wasn't real cheap, but I'm quite happy overall, both with the cost and the outcome.

From what I understand, your first cut is to create a 45 degree angle along the entire edge of the grip material. That way when you finish attaching the grip material to the boom and then over the original 45 degree cut surface of the material, you know exactly where to trim the excess off. Of course, practice makes perfect, but from what I understand it's not that difficult to achieve a decent outcome.
